There is an amendment to the char
ter of St. Paul before the legislature
which provides that members OF the
board of education of thai city shall
be appointed by the mayor. Such a
measure. though extremely unrepubli-
can, appears to be the only safeguard
which large cities possess for keeping
the ward politician out of such a body.
Under the elective system there have
been men on the St. Paul board of edu
cation who could neither read nol
write. The present board kicks agains
the proposed change; some Of the dai
lies have suggested that intelligent bu
siness men be appointed on the nev
board.

If it is believed that an open textbook

ate a textbook commission with power

REDWOOD GAZETTE. The people Of
Western Minnesota are so generally
borrowers rather than lenders of money
that the proposed legislation reducing
legal interest to per cent and making
a higher rate usury is calculated to be q
popular measure in this region. That
the enforcement of the law will be
equally acceptable is by no means GER
tain. Our country needs capital as we'll
as settlers to develop it, and measure
which will drive away loan agents and
outside capital win be positive dam
age. After taking opinions from intel
ligent farmers as well as those in the
loaning business, we believe that there
is no conflict Of interest between bor-
rover and lender, and wise legislation
will not arbitrarily step between them,
to the loss Of the borrower. The capi-
talist is in a position to seek the best
returns for his wealth, and too re-
strictiYe bill would bear heaviest on
those who need money not those who
lend it.

Wednesday, Feb. %, 1887.

While the general character Of the
penal code Of Solon was exceedingly
mild, the inebriety Of an archon. or
Athenian magistrate, was declared a
capital crime. There was q great deal
of common sense in this ancient enact
ment, even if viewed in the light of the
present day. An intoxicated public
functionary is.a disgrace to the office
he holds and to the community whose
suArages elected him. This truth be
comes most painfully apparent in the
case Of public servants who are called
upon to pronounce Judgment upon
their fellow men. A number OF years
ago, Judge E. St. Julien Cox was re.
moved from office for offenses that be-
long to this category. We are not ia
miliar with the particulars OF his i'm
peachnent trial; but we do know that
there was just cause for his removal
from an office which is ''humbled to
the DUST by an incumbent's attempt to
discharge his duties while under the in
fluence Of liquor. A private citizen dis
graces himself by getting drunk;
drunken judge disgraces the bench.
With due regard for Mr.. Cox's personal
amiability and legal learning. and with
the highest degree of sympathy that we
can muster in his behalf, we must say
that the long. .winded orations delivered
in the senate when Mr.. Bowen's concur
rent resolution to vacate, cancel and
expunge the record of the ex-judge's
impeachmerttrial, was under considera-
ton, appear to us just as ridiculous as
the proceedings of the trial itself. There
was such stupendous amount of
learning and amiability in the way that
it cost the State 100000; more Or less,
TO establish facts known to every intel
ligent citizen in the ninth Judicial dis
trict. We do not hold that the enor-
nous cost Of the trial cancels the peo-
p1e,s Indebtedness for any real services
Mr.. Cox may have rendered them; but
it may not be impertinent to inquire
whether the learned judge showed HIM
self very grateful to the large majority
of respectable citizens that bestowed
upon him one of the most exalted posi-
tions in the State. But be this as it
may; if it is deemed desirable 20 ex-
punge the record Of the impeachment
trial, let it be expunged because the
whole affair was disgrace to the State,
and not for the alleged purpose of ''wip'
ing out the vile SANDER and vile wrong
heaped upon an individual whose
great learning should have enabled hin
to perceive the inevitable results ofmis
conduct on the bench; or let the recore
be expunged as an act of mercy to one
whose usefulness may be impeded by
the official record of his shortcoming
in position to which he can aspir'
nevermvre. But in either case ther'
is no excuse for our senator's screwin!

Durant's speech in behalf of E. St.
Julien Cox: s.What would say is in
regard to the conduct of Capt. Cox at
New Ulm on that terrible August day
in 1868, when he, side by side with
Judge Flandrau and other brave men,
interposed his life with theirs in the de.
fense of helpless women and children.
He and his comrades stood as a human
breastwork against the attacks Of blood
thirsty savages, and by their gallantry
they saved the citizens of the Minneso-
ia valley from fate worse than death.
Senators, let the heroic action, the man
" conduct, and the martyr-like bra
very Of Capt Cox in that awful time
plead with you for him to-day" Now.
this is what we should call mans in
humanity to. history While Judge
4 Flandrau and other brave men were
fighting the Indians, Capt. Cox and his
men lay encamped fifteen miles east Of
New Ulm. When after much unneces-
sary delay Capt. Cox arrived at New
Ulm, the Indians had been repelled
and did not give him an opportunity Of
displaying his valor. If in that terri
bic month Of August in 1862, Capt. Cox
saved any lives in this section Of the
country, they can only have been the
lives of his own men, whom he prudent
" kept out Of the fight. We fail to no.
tice any 'mortyr-like bravery in such
conduct.
Our house of representative does not
seem to take very kindly to the Merrill
textbook monopoly. The bill insto-
duced by Mr.. Rogers was designed to
secure the ..full enforcement Of the
State textbook law Of 1877 by re.enact-
ing the invalid amendments Of 1883,
I which provided for the transfer Of sales
from clerks to agents to be appoint
ed by the county commissioners.
/ Mr.. Donnelly failed to discover the
4.woodchuck' in the bill, although the
animal is bigger than an elephant. I'm
der the original contract, no adequate
provision was made for the strict en-.
forcement Of the textbook law. Mr..
Merrill knew this when he signed
the contract, and it is evident that moi
change can be made in the latter ex-
cept with the consent OF Mr.. Merrill

Discovery of Plot BY Roustabouts
to Capture the Polls.
A BIG COMBINE OF sUMMERS.
Envious Conduct of Cadet Tayior-A
Letter From George Shields--The
Saloon CIosing-Last Nights
Meetings.


Every voter this morning ought to be pre-
pared for lies and roorbacks of all kinfs
which it is known are to be circulated by the
unscrupulous demagogues who have been
seeking to foist upon the people the rotten
ticket containing the four incompetent, bush
wacking roustabout candidates for judges of
the district court. The supporters of these
worthless aspirants to the judicial position
will not only seek to misreprescnt the non
partisan candidates for the district court by
the circulation of libelous misrcprescnta-
tions, but have already concocted u plot to
early this morning take possession OF the polls
and allowing all their friends TO vote while
opposing every obstacle to those who do not
vote at their dictation. More than this they
have foully conspired to carry their point by
street car and gas companies, every one of
whom will be compelled to vote for the
dead-bcat Estelle. Upon this man the whole
strength of Vanderbum, the thieves, thugs,
gamblers, pimps and procurers Of
the Third ward has been concentrated,
leaving the other republican candidates
to look out for themselves. This is an at
tempt on the part of the disreputable portion
of the community to override the wishes of
the honest and industrious citizens, taxpay-
crs and mechanics of this city and county,
and there is but one way to circumvent' 1T,
and that is for every honest citizen to be on
hand early and prevent the consummation of
the damnable scheme above referred to. In
this casc a non-corruptibe judiciary de-
mands the vigilance of the people, and if this
vigilance be exercised there will be no doubt
as to the outcome of the days election.

A Word With Wage Workers.

Nobody is more interested in elect
ing honest and competent county Off
GERS and unpurchasable judges than the
corporation can always get low assess
ments on their property. And even if
the county is managed by boodlers they
can stand the Increased taxation much
better than the wage worker whose lit
tie home and scanty furniture are as
sessed for nearly all they are worth.
The Paxtons, KOuntze's, Creightons,
McShanes and the railroads can stand
a tax of 300 easier than a mechanic,
laborer or clerk can fifty cents. The
same applies to the judiciary. The men
of wealth and great corporations always
exert a great influence in the courts,
and would have no trouble in getting
the ear of n Judge who is in the market.
The wage worker who gets into court
has no show for Justice unless the men
on the bench are above purchase and
beyond corruption and corporate in
iluence.
The attempt to throw sand into the
cScS VI WOThlISuieu bS dppetilS iOf Sy LII
pathy in behalf of Estelle, Ballou and
Hancock by pleas of poverty and sneers
at silk stockings ought not to deceive
them. II is an attempt of mercenary
charlatans and legal quacks who have
proved themselves unworthy of conf
dence and without principle or integ-
rity. Wakeley,. Doane and Croft are
above want and temptation, but they
are by no means what would be called
wealthy. They are citizens whose in
tegrity has never been questioned, and
in whose hands the wage workers would
be in no danger of injustice or betrayal
The fact that Hancock, Ballou and Es-
telle have been associating with GER
tain class of alleged working men who
hang around saloons, while Croft, Doane
and Wakoly have kept out of the slums
will hardly influence intelligent and de-
cent wage workers in favor of the roust
| about candidates. On the contrary il
ought to set every thinking wage worker
| against them.

Dcceiying the Voters.

The law says that mixed tickets, which IL
defines as those on which are printed the
names of candidates other than those nomi-
mated in the convention Of the party named
at the head Of the ticket, shall be thrown out
in counting the ballots. Republicans, look
out for them. Il 1ntued ticket Is q bogus one,
and the law provides that they shall not be
counted.--Omdhu Republican,
The law says no such thing. Mixed
tickets are just as legal as any others pro-
vided they are printed under distinct
heading. The plain intent of the law is
that no deception shall be practiced on
the voter by inserting the name Of ~
candidate under the regular party head
ing who was not placed on the ticket by
the party. In other words, ticket
headed Republican" with the name OF
democrat inserted in place of any
regular republican candidate would be
bogus, but mixed ticket headed
''Citizens' Republican" "Independ-
ent Republican, ""Republican Working
man 8" or any other designation differing
from the regular heading is as legal as
any other ticket. Such tickets have
been voted in Omaha at every election
for years and every name on them has
always been counted. But the Republ-
can purposely falsifies the law when it
SAYS that mixed ticket cannot be
counted under the law. The law makes
no such provision. The law does not
even authorize the throwing out of a
bogus ticket, but merely provides that
the name of any candidate fraudulently
inserted in place of the regular candidate
on straight party ticket shall not count.
All the other names on bogus ticket
are counted just the same, as if the
ticket was straight. No ticket can be
legally thrown out. Every other in
terpretation of the law is bare-faced

The Presidents Interference.


If the interference of President Cleve-
land in the New York campaign was
not pernicious activity it would be very
difficult to satisfactorily define just
what that Objectionable conduct is.
The contribution of the president to the
campaign fund may perhaps be pardon
able. 1t was voluntarily made, if that
action can be considered voluntary
which proceeds from knowledge that
it is desired and expected. Very likely
it was not solicited, but Mr.. Cleveland
knew it was wanted and would be ac-
ceptable, and therefore he sent it. AS
an example it was Of questionable pro-
priety, under the existing order of
things, yet it violated no law. II the
presidents aid to the campaign had gone
no farther than this there would be
little or noreason for fault-fnding. But
when he went to the extent of ex-
pressing hearty wish for the success
of the democratic ticket, he rendered
himself amenable to the charge of per-
nicious activity, aggravated in the de-
gree that his influence is greater than
that of any other individual office
holder.
We are aware that pernicious activity
is understood to be working at caucuses,
in conventions and at the polls, but OBJ
viously it should have no such narrow
definition, which imposes restrictions
upon the political rights and liberty of
the humber officeholders while those
high in power and influence are permit
ted to be- active in another way and
with vastly moro effect. 1t is held to
be pernicious for an olliceholder to mix
in politics solely on the ground
that servant Of the people should not
engage in promoting tho interests of a
party. In this sense the interference
of Mr.. Cleveland in the New York cam
paign was clearly pernicious, and We
think it may fairly be said that it was
altogether the most fragrant case of per-
nicious activity that has occurred under
the present administration. The fact
that it was simply in the form of a letter
does not extenuate the otfense. The
effect could not have been greater il
Mr.. Cleveland had made a speech en-
dorsing the ticket at Cooper institute
| or at a democratic mass meeting in
Madison square. The proof Of this is in
the service which the letter has been
made to perform in the campaign.
Congressman S. S. Cox is reported tc
have said that If the democrats are
beaten in New York to-day then down
goes Mr., Cleveland and up goes Mr.
Hill" 1t is not unlikely that the presi
dent had been SO impressed with ths
desperate character Of the situation tha

THE recommendation of Commits
sioner Sparks regarding reform in the
laws under which possession of the pub
lie lands may be obtained will doubtless
receive the attention of congress. The
fact is generally recognized that the
statutes are too complex, and that it is
by reason of this that frauds have been
so numerous and so easily perpetrated
and maintained. Attempts at reform
hitherto have not done much to mend
matters, and as the commissioner says
the time for tinkering has passed. His
recommendation in favor of retaining
an absolute homestead law and obsolet-
ing all other forms of disposal
of agricultural lands, requir-
ing actual residence, cultivation
and improvement for the home
stead period of five years, would cer-
tainly knock out the land grabbers, and
there can be no question that the plan
has merit, particularly when it is con-
sidered how comparatively small is the
remaining area of the public domain
available for settlement.

TAYLORS PETTY MEANNESS.
The Figurc-Hcad of the Republican
in the Role of u Hog.

1t was the desire of the BEE to publish
this morning complete list of all candi
dates for election. Many of the candidates,
especially those running for constables. as
SCISSORS and justices are unknown to the pub
lie; their names never having appeared in
print. Through the hoggishness and petty
meanness of Cadet Taylor this enterprise
was frustrated. A BEE representative
called at the Republican Office yesterday
to obtain list of the candidates. MIR. Need
ham, the county clerk and his deputy, Mr.,
Wells, We're present and the former held in
his hand proof sheet of the tickets for the
various wards. The foreman of the printing
establishment refused TO let the BEE man
have copy and referred him to Mr. Rounds
who was in his private Office at that tim
Mr.. Rounds very politely granted the request
and issued a written order to the foreman to
furnish the bearer with a copy Of the differ
ent tickets, but before the mandate could
be fulfilled, in comes Taylor and the result
of whispered conversation that he held with
Mr.. Rounds was a cancellation of the order
to furnish a copy of the proof The BEE rep
rcsentative then asked to be allowed to copy
the names of the candidates for justices,
assessors and constables in the several
wards, and although Mr.. Rounds was favora-
bly, disposed toward granting the request,
Taylor again objected and the request was
denied. 1t was fully explained to Messrs.
Rounds and Taylor that it was to be pub
lishcd in the interests of the republican
party by notifying voters who their cand-
dates were. Notwithstanding this, Taylor's
petty spite prevailed.
Subsequently BEE reporter called on Tay
lor and asked if he would honor an order from
Mr. Kelley, chairman Of the printing com.
mittee, for proof of the various tickets.
Taylor said that he would not honor such an
order, neither would he accept an order from
the chairman of the county central commit
tee, and intimated that nothing would intlu-
ence him short of an order signed by a ma
jority of the fifty odd members of the whole
county committee
Prior to this another BEE representative
had seen Mr. Kelly, who stated that he had
no objection to furnish proof Of the ticket.
Following is list of the democratic candi-
dates furnished the BEE by MIR. Brown chair
man of the printing committee of the demo-
cratic central committee:
